    Our dining experience at Rioja was totally enjoyable from start to finish. The hostess at the front was professional and friendly. We were seated side by side at a table in the main room, as requested. Will, our server gave us good counsel on the menu. We split the sweet pea risotto with Red Trout, scrumptious. We each ordered the duck breast. There were two generous portions of meat which was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and vegetables and sauces complemented the dish. The entire staff operated seamlessly, delivering food and wine at the appropriate times. This restaurant never fails to impress!

    A beautiful clean restaurant, delicious memorable and innovative food. The rabbit pie was one of the best things I have eaten in years. Lamb pasta was delicious and the semifredo for dessert was amazing. Can’t wait to come back for more.

    Outstanding brunch at Ash'Kara! We sat outside and the patio is relaxing and quiet. Our server ( I think Mitch?) was outstanding and didn't rush us. The food is always delicious and the drinks are unique. Always enjoy our meals here.
